Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Muscidae - Coenosia?

Hi,
At the moment I meet many small grey flies in our arboretum, and not all of them are Anthomyiidae. This one, to me, resembles a Coenosia; however, it is not C. tigrina. Is it possible to confirm the genus, or do you think I am completely wrong (which might well be the case, as I decide by jizz only)?
Thanks for help with my small pics, Sundew

This is not Coenosia, but very close (same tribe, Coenosiini). This is Lispocephala sp.

Wow - great! My instinct did not let me down. Correct relationship and a new genus - the day couldn't start better.
Many thanks, Sundew
